Chapter 47 Death News and Brotherly Quarrel
Is Zhang Zhenhua dead?
Yu Zhile was very surprised by the news.
"My aunt lives across the street from us. My uncle-in-law came back with the news." Zhang Wenxin was still the same, spouting a bunch of words before she could catch her breath. "They said she collapsed while eating, and was foaming at the mouth."
"Poisoned?" Chen Zhao instantly imagined the scene.
Zhang Wenxin nodded, then shook her head and said, "It's not clear yet. The police sent someone to take the body away. They said they need to investigate further and will come to the village tomorrow."
Although Zhang Zhenhua had an average relationship with several of them, the news of his death still made the atmosphere in the hospital a little quieter.
Yu Zhile's first thought was his previous proposal about the relics, and he suspected that his death was related to this matter.
Zhou Yuesheng gave a positive judgment in his heart.
Poisoned, killed by wasps and Gao Liangyi.
His fingers tapped the table unconsciously, and his eyes fell on Yu Zhile's profile.
She had just delivered something to Zhang Wenxin's sister-in-law in the afternoon, and Zhang Zhenhua, who lived across the street, died of poisoning that evening. Is this really just a coincidence?
Zhou Yuesheng suddenly thought of Ning Tan's attitude towards Zhile and had a bad feeling.
"Okay, don't think too much." Yu Zhile spoke to break the weird atmosphere.
Then, she asked Chen Zhao to send Zhang Wenxin home.
After leaving the yard, Zhang Wenxin looked back. Yu Zhile's shadow was sometimes clear and sometimes blurry due to the flickering candlelight.
She just felt her heart heavy and it was a bit hard to breathe.
"Let's go. No matter how we investigate, it has nothing to do with my sisters," Chen Zhao said optimistically.
Unexpectedly, the next morning, just after dawn, the door of Yu's house was slammed loudly.
"Yu Zhile, come out here! You'll have to pay with your life for your murder!" Yu Taohong shouted while knocking on the door with all her strength.
Everyone was awakened by the noise.
When Zhou Yuesheng opened the door, Yu Taohong was banging against it, and then fell into the yard due to inertia.
Her hair was a mess, with patches missing here and there, and one could even see red bloodshot on her exposed scalp. She looked nothing like the exquisitely dressed woman she had been before.
"Yu Zhile, you are so bad. You can't bear to see me live a good life, so you poisoned Zhang Zhenhua." Yu Taohong got up and pointed at Yu Zhile to accuse him.
With the dim light from the sky, Yu Zhile was able to see the purple bruises of the slap on her face.
"Speak up! Speak up! Why did you poison Zhang Zhenhua?" Yu Taohong screamed hysterically.
Yu Zhile frowned: "I don't know what you are talking about."
"Why did you poison the crab sauce?" Yu Taohong asked.
Yesterday evening, when she was returning home from get off work at the supply and marketing cooperative, she happened to run into Ge Tai who was delivering something to Yu Haiyan.
When she heard Ge Tai say that Yu Zhile asked Yu Haiyan to make clothes for her and also gave her crab sauce, she grabbed the jar without saying a word.
Ge Tai never hits women, and Yu Haiyan only inherited the old branch secretary's sullen temper when he was young.
The two men could do nothing about her and could only watch her go home holding the clay jar.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhenhua fell down and stopped breathing after just one bite.
When her in-laws heard the news, they beat her up and kicked her out of the house. She walked until midnight before returning to Haiyu Village.
"Can I foresee that you would steal Zhang Wenxin's things?" Yu Zhile asked back.
Yu Taohong instantly became a deflated balloon, her eyes were out of focus and she could only utter some vague monosyllabic words.
"Go find the branch secretary and the team leader." Yu Zhile looked at Zhou Yuesheng.
Zhou Yuesheng walked towards the door.
Yu Taohong slowly turned her head, followed his back with her eyes, and jumped up.
"They are right, it must be you, only you want to kill him, only you want to kill him!" She screamed madly and pounced on Yu Zhile.
Zhou Yuesheng ran in front of her and raised his arms to block Yu Taohong's sharp claws.
There was a sharp pain in the inner thigh, and the skin around the wound felt wet.
At the same time, hurried footsteps were heard outside the yard.
Then, Ning Tan broke into the courtyard with a dozen people.
"Yu Zhile, the Armed Forces Department." Ning Tan showed his work ID and said in a deep voice, "We now suspect that you are involved in the poisoning of Zhang Zhenhua. We are going to take you back to the Armed Forces Department for investigation."
Yu Taohong's eyes suddenly lit up: "It was her. She made the crab sauce. He must have poisoned her."
Zhou Yuesheng took a step forward and made a secret gesture to him.
"Please cooperate with the investigation." Ning Tan's eyes turned red as he spoke word by word.
Ever since Zhou Yuesheng was injured, he has not closed his eyes, staring at Zhang Zhenhua, trying to follow his clues to find out where Gao Liangyi and Huang Feng are hiding.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhenhua died in front of him.
Yu Zhile smelled blood and saw that the inside of Zhou Yuesheng's thigh was soaked with dark cloth. He grabbed his arm and said to him, "Go into the house and treat the wound."
Then, she turned to look at Ning Tan: "I will naturally cooperate with the investigation."
The sound of the jeep entering the village attracted the brigade cadres and villagers, and everyone was confused by the scene before them.
Yu Zhile followed Ning Tan, and a dozen other pairs of eyes stared at the surroundings, fearing that something unexpected might happen.
"Yu Zhile, you will be punished for ruining other people's good life." Yu Taohong laughed crazily.
Old Mrs. Yu walked into the yard with the support of Wu Caixia, and her vicious eyes almost pierced through Yu Zhile's body.
"Comrade police, she must have been jealous of Hongni's good life and poisoned my son-in-law. Arrest her and put her in jail. Arrest her." She said gritting her teeth.
As soon as the words fell, the crowd burst into an uproar.
"Just cooperating with the investigation." Ning Tan's brows were twisted into a "川" shape.
After saying that, he took Yu Zhile to the back seat of the jeep, while the others got on their bicycles.
The group of people came and left in a hurry, leaving only a cloud of dust for the onlookers.
His explanation did not stop people from talking. Everyone stared at Old Lady Yu and her daughter, and did not leave until they had to go to work.
At this time, Zhang Wenxin and Chen Zhaocai hurried over. On the way, they learned that Yu Zhile had been taken away.
"He will definitely take revenge!" Chen Zhao slammed the table angrily.
At that time, Yu Yue paused in disinfecting Zhou Yuesheng's wound and looked up at him.
"No." Zhou Yuesheng said firmly.
Chen Zhao recounted what happened when he met Ning Tan in town yesterday, and then said angrily: "He is prejudiced to begin with."
"How can we serve the people with this kind of work attitude?" Zhang Wenxin expressed her dissatisfaction.
Zhou Yuesheng had no way to refute the fact that Ning Tan was prejudiced against the children from the compound.
The wound suddenly felt a sharp pain and he broke out in a cold sweat.
Zhou Yuesheng looked down and saw that Yu Yue had poured out half a bottle of disinfectant and sprinkled half a packet of powder to accelerate wound healing.
"Sorry, I'm not very skilled." Yu Yue said in a flat tone without a trace of apology.
Zhou Yuesheng said nothing and bandaged the wound himself with gauze.
Then, he asked Chen Zhao to find Yu Erye, as he had to go to the Armed Forces Department.
"I want to go!"
“I want to go too!”
Zhang Wenxin and Chen Zhao said in unison.
Zhou Yuesheng disagreed, and turned to Yue and said solemnly: "She will come back unharmed."
The situation was urgent, so Yu Erye did not drive the ox cart as slowly as usual. The two of them arrived at the entrance of the armed forces department after more than an hour.
More than ten minutes ago, there was a knock on Ning Tan's office door, and the person who came in was the one who urged him when he caught Zhang Caihong before.
Lin Zhong asked cautiously, "Boss, you've been back for an hour, why haven't you interrogated Yu Zhile yet?"
"No hurry, wait for someone." Ning Tan played with the lighter he picked up last time, stroking the number engraved on the bottom - 02.
Lin Zhong's eyes flickered as he said, "That's her fiancé, isn't that inappropriate?"
The next second, a cup flew past his ear.
Ning Tan slammed the lighter on the table, making a loud noise.
"Boss?" Lin Zhong seemed to have not yet recovered from the fear of the cup rubbing against his ear, and was frightened by the sound again.
Ning Tan lit a cigarette and silently exhaled puff of smoke after puff until his face was completely covered by smoke.
Lin Zhong stood there for a long time, then turned and walked out.
The moment his hand was on the door handle, Ning Tan said, "He would never be partial to anyone."
"Yes, yes." Lin Zhong smiled and then responded repeatedly.
After Zhou Yuesheng arrived, he went straight to Ning Tan's office. Ning Tan's feet were already piled with cigarette butts.
"It's not Yu Zhile." This was the first sentence he said when he entered the door.
Ning Tan didn't believe it: "I suspect that Yu Zhile and Zhang Zhenhua were in the same team, and then Zhang Zhenhua was poisoned to death while eating her food. How can there be so many coincidences in this world?"
"Then how do you explain that she could know in advance that the crab sauce would fall into Yu Taohong's hands?" Zhou Yuesheng asked back and made a gesture towards him.
Ning Tan was stunned for a moment, looked under the door and found a shadow.
Then, he swept everything off the table and retorted loudly: "Because she is best at controlling people's hearts. She knows that Yu Taohong is greedy and Yu Haiyan is cowardly. How can there be so many coincidences in this world? She is so powerful that even you can't escape her charm. You betrayed the group-"
Zhou Yuesheng punched him in the face without saying a word, and then the two of them started fighting.
The noise was so loud that the others rushed into the house and separated the two people.
Ning Tan panted heavily, staring at Zhou Yuesheng with bloodshot eyes, and gritted his teeth and said, "Don't interfere with the investigation."
"Don't take revenge on personal grudges." Zhou Yuesheng looked at him with dissatisfaction in his eyes.
Ning Tan snorted, went out and questioned Zhile, and called a few people to go into the interrogation room together.
Yu Zhile had been watching live broadcasts on the platform for more than an hour when he was suddenly surrounded by several people, feeling quite uncomfortable.
She was a little shocked when she saw Ning Tan's embarrassed appearance.
"Why do you want to kill Zhang Zhenhua? Are you afraid that he will expose your secret?" Ning Tan asked in a rough voice.
Yu Zhile pushed the question back: "What secret do I have? How did I kill Zhang Zhenhua?"
In the eyes of his subordinates, Ning Tan had hit a snag and his temper became even worse.
Moreover, he did not get any good results in the following rounds of verbal confrontations, and finally he could only angrily ask his men to release the people.
After Yu Zhile left, no one dared to breathe, as they all knew about Ning Tan breaking the cup.
"From now on, you will work in groups of two, changing shifts every eight hours. Keep a close eye on Yu Zhile's home and report to me immediately if there is any situation." After Ning Tan gave the order, he only left them with his back.
